ROME, Dec. lib-Italian airplanes and troops were reported Pursuing Ethiopians lured into s death-trap at Dembe Guins Pass today as the government claimed new wholesale surrenders oi dwellers in the south- eastern Province oi Ogaden.

The aircraft were covering the region around the Pass and south oi the Takkaze River, bombing and raking with machine gun fire any of the dismantled Ethiopian de""“- merits they spotted, as Italian ior- ces in the Pass prepared to push southward again after the savage three-day battle which started 15 miles south oi Mai ‘rimchet, it was learned.

Stirring Account

A stirring account oi the engage- ment was received today from the special war correspondent oi the newspaper Lavoro Fascists, ‘who said the Italian "retrea" was s stratagem which lured the Ethiop- ian warriors to their doom.

The battle, he said, began at day- break Sunday with an Ethiopian on- slaught on the Italian outpost at Mai Timchet. The Italians iell ' back lo the Pass where they knew important detachments oi Italian colonial troops were ready to aid them.

At the same time another Ethiop- ian force swung northeastwsrd to- ward the Pass. Attempting to at- tack the Italians on their right flank, the correspondent said,

Spfier Heavy Losses

When the two Ethiopian iorces converged on the Pass region they were met by withering machine-gun fire and suiiered heavy losses.

The fighting stopped Sunday night, continued sporadically on Monday and entered s. decisive stage Tuesday when the Italians launched a counter-offensive.

Askari and white troops, suppor- ted by machine-gun and artillery fire, hurled themselves against the Ethiopians with fixed bayonets and succeeded in routing them by noonf Small detachments of Italian troops aided by airplanes were rushed t0 "mop up“ the routed Ethiopians and prevent tllcm massing again for an-

Havasl-The outcomeoi the savage three-day Italo-Ethiopian battle near the Talokaze River and of an- other clcsh northwest oi Makale were obscured by contradictory re- ports in Addis Ababa tonight.

Ethiopian observers said their

warriors in the north were trying to break through the left and right

wings oi the Italian forces. The Dembe Gulna Pass battle. which be- San Sunday. was an attempt to dis-

lodge a section oi the Italian right

wing, a strategic move being at- tempted by the iorces of Res Sey- oum and Res Imru which have ‘reen ranging respectively the Temple , mountains and regions near the riv. er, it was said.

(In Rome the government claim- ed its forces had broken up the Ethiopian oiiensive with a bayonet charge).

“EGO NOLO”

Students who "had a. stab" at that little verse last week beginning "E80 nolo Caesar rsse," would hard- ly be satisfied with the transla- tion “I would like to be Caesar?‘ that was a typographical error, and the vene wsa really “I wouldn't like to be Caesar, to ramble among the Britons. wntentcd with Scythian frosts." _

This enlrram, the historian Spar- tianus tells us, was written on the Emperor Hadrian. by the sstrlo Duet rlorus, while that monarch was in the North oi Britain sup". intending the erection oi the R0- man Wall. The verse was duly m. peated to the Emperor, and his scathing retort has come down to

us.

“Ego nolo Florus esse, Ambularc per tsbernas, Latitsle per popinas,

Calices pati rotundos." »

(I Wlmldrft like to be Flor-us, to ramble among the saloons. to skulk in the drinking dives, content“! with the round tankardsi’) It would be about A.D. 119. when these pleasantrles were exchanged, ior Hadrian came to quell disturbances in the island that year. Little did the Emperor think, as he forced the half-savage Britons to labor on the Wall, that one day their country would be mightier than his own!

"Bo many days to Christmas," everybody is counting now. Which reminds me that our ancestors sometimes counted by nights, though I cannot say why. We still talk about s “iortnighlf (fourteen- nlghts) but s "scklnight" is no longer used, the shorter, sweeter- sounding "week" having driven it out. The Irench QIITNPGQ the spsoo oi s week by"'huit jours?‘ and oi two by "quinse jours.’ The former is the origin oi the term “octsve" in lklglish law.

For example, under A.D. 1052, we read: "This year on the second day before the nones oi March, died the aged Lady Aligivs. Ermms, the mother oi King Edward and oi King’ Hardacnut/e," etc. This cal- culation has to be “stepped up’ (s5 they say in radio) gradually thus: The nones is the ninth day beiore the “Ides" oi any month, both days being included. Then We must rc- rnember that the Ides is the fif- teenth day or March. Amy. July and October. but the thirteenth day oi any other month. Bo that Eligiva died on the second day before the 9th day before the 15th o! March: a. most cumbrous way oi reckoning. which brings us to March 5th.

In 1124. King Alexander oi Soot- land died "on the ninth day before the calmds oi May." This is easier to calculate, since the term "cal- ends" is applied to the first day oi any month in the Roman calendar.
